The singer-songwriter is among the ensemble of “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” director Jane Schoenbrun’s next film, “I Saw the TV Glow,” produced by A24 and Emma Sone’s Fruit Tree. Justice Smith (“The Get Down,” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”), Brigette Lundy-Paine (“Atypical”), Helena Howard (“The Wilds,” “Madeline’s Madeline”), indie rock artist Lindsey Jordan (“Snail Mail”), Limp Bizkit musician and director Fred Durst, Danielle Deadwyler (“Station Eleven”), and Haley Dahl’s Sloppy Jane featuring Bridgers round out the cast....

He added that he recently heard an interview on WNYC with author Atticus Lish about his novel “The War for Gloria.” Curious, Schatzberg sought out the book and has been thinking about it adapting it. “Most of my friends can’t believe I’m the age I am because I don’t act it,” Schatzberg said. “I don’t really think about it. If it catches up to me, it catches up to me, but I’m not looking to that....

Warner Bros. said in a statement: “Johnny Depp will depart the Fantastic Beasts franchise. We thank Johnny for his work on the films to date. Fantastic Beasts 3 is currently in production, and the role of Gellert Grindelwald will be recast. The film will debut in theaters worldwide in the summer of 2022.” “In light of recent events, I would like to make the following short statement,” Depp wrote on Instagram....

This is all a matter of public record, the centerpiece of the newest chapter in a pileup of gimmicks that stretch back 20 years. But Knoxville hesitates to specify the line he couldn’t cross on his most Paramount-funded excursion. “We did have something on this film that we wanted to do that we weren’t allowed to do because it was going to be a $10 million deductible,” he said in a recent interview over Zoom, then stopped himself....

The chat is now streaming. Clinton ended her historic 2016 presidential campaign with around 1,700 hours of behind-the-scenes video footage, which Burstein meticulously combed through to craft her narrative. The director also sat down with Clinton for 35 hours worth of interviews, which appear throughout the documentary series, in addition to archival footage and an extensive amount of ancillary interviews with Clinton’s friends and family, colleagues, former staffers, and journalists who’ve followed the long-time politician’s career....

Hill returns to the director’s chair with “Outcome,” based on a script he co-wrote with Ezra Woods. Hill’s Strong Baby production banner is producing. Deadline first reported the news. While plot details are under wraps, IndieWire confirmed that actor Reeves is attached to star. The actor recently exited Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Hulu series “Devil in a White City” and will be leading “John Wick Chapter 4” and will reportedly appear in its spinoff film, “Ballerina” opposite Ana de Armas....

Smith wrote the screenplay and will direct the film, with all major actors reprising their original roles, including Jeff Anderson as Randal, Brian O’Halloran as Dante, Jay Mewes as Jay, Smith as Silent Bob, and Rosario Dawson as Becky. The film is set to be produced by Liz Destro and Jordan Monsanto. The plot centers around Randal who, after suffering a massive heart attack, enlists the help of Dante, Elisa, Jay, and Silent Bob to make a movie about his life, set at the original convenience store that started it all in the first film....

Per an official synopsis, “while vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.” Those parents are played by Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge, and those strangers are played by Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint, and Abby Quinn....

Smit-McPhee, who is Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor, told Variety that he has “nothing” to say to Elliott’s previous claims on Marc Maron’s “WTF Podcast” that the film is a “piece of shit.” “‘Cause I’m a mature being and I’m passionate about what I do, and I don’t really give energy to anything outside of that,” Smit-McPhee said about ignoring the “1883” star’s comments. “Good luck to him.” Elliott compared Jane Campion’s Montana-set Western to a Chippendales show, saying the cowboys are “all running around in chaps and no shirts....

In “Tesla,” Michael Almereyda’s dazzling and postmodern anti-biopic of the life and work of inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke), MacLachlan plays Tesla’s colleague and eventual foe Thomas Edison. The longtime rivalry between these two eccentrics remains one of history’s fiercest, with their developments of AC and DC currents, respectively, sparking a bitter feud that rocked the late 19th century. Though MacLachlan has solidified his reputation for playing fictional characters in the films of David Lynch, the Emmy-nominated actor slips into the role of Edison with ease....

“I was like, ‘Wow, this is a very interesting fellow,’” Stanfield said to THR this week while reflecting on Teddy Perkins. “I wanted to know more about [the actor], so I started asking him questions. And Donald had a whole history prepared. He was saying he’s been acting for a long time. And I was like, ‘That’s funny, because this is a very small business…I would not miss your face....

“Let Him Go,” a contemporary Western starring Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, soared on FandangoNow and Apple TV, two charts that provide the most immediate response. The former ranks by dollars paid; the latter lists by number of transactions. Placing ahead of films with much lower prices suggests very strong interest and hints that the Universal/Focus strategy could be working. The film also placed #6 at Google Play. With an earlier deadline, Spectrum usually lags behind the others; expect it to show up next week....

“It’s significant in the same sense that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States in 2008,” Burton added to Esquire. “‘Jeopardy!’ occupies a singular place in American culture. To have a person of color or a marginalized person standing behind that podium is good for America. It means something. It’s a milestone marker on this journey toward wholeness that the great American experiment is supposed to be about....

“WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” the two Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that premiered earlier in the year, also enjoyed strong ratings, but “Loki” is poised to surpass both. “Loki,” which has topped most of Nielsen’s weekly streaming reports following its premiere, has already exceeded the viewership that the aforementioned titles had early in their seasons’ rollouts and “Loki” has only continued to climb in viewership as more episodes have been factored into Nielsen’s weekly reports....

If you’re upset about the Duke of Hastings’ exit from “Bridgerton,” here’s a chance to write your own royal story, at least for one night. “The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience,” is an immersive, Regency-era ball featuring music inspired by the “Bridgerton” soundtrack. The event won’t be taking place until next March, but tickets went on sale on Thursday. “The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience” will take place at different cities around the country, including a “secret ballroom in Los Angeles,” as well as events in Chicago, Montreal, and Washington, D....

“I’m playing misunderstood people,” he said, smiling over Zoom. “I’ve had a few non-villainous American roles that tend to be the baddies; I did an American film called ‘Arctic.’ He’s not a villain, so I’m grateful for that. Maybe times will turn a little, and people are watching a little more of the Danish stuff. Maybe they’ll accept a funny accent for an everyday-man character. If that’s not the case, I’m happy with what I’m doing....

For “Star Trek” fans during the ‘90s, there were no more thrilling words than those at the end of a “previously on” sizzle reel. They promised the epic second installment of a two-part episode to come, whether on “The Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine,” or “Voyager.” The woman who said those words was not just the “voice” of “Star Trek” but its “First Lady”: Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the wife of franchise creator Gene Roddenberry, and an omnipresent part of the series herself....

Long-running, still-Premium VOD titles “Greenland” and “News of the World,” along with $5.99 rentals “Tenet” and “Let Him Go,” are this week’s chart toppers. “News” and “Tenet” made all four lists (as did “The War with Grandpa”). “Let Him Go” failed to make Spectrum’s top 10, with its price reduction coming too late to impact the list. There were a few surprises. Why is “2067,” an Australian science-fiction film starring Ryan Kwanten and Kodi Smit McPhee, available for $0....

During an interview with Vulture, Maron admitted to wanting a second shot at speaking with “The Lost Daughter” director Gyllenhaal on his podcast “WTF with Marc Maron” because, well, now he’s finally seen her 2018 movie, “The Kindergarten Teacher,” directed by Sara Colangelo. “I’d like to talk to Maggie Gyllenhaal again, because I did something I never do with her, where I hadn’t watched the thing she was there to promote, which she was very proud of,” Maron said of missing out on Gyllenhaal’s feature before speaking with her....

“To be honest, it’s quite a pain in the [ass] when someone ‘loses themselves,’” Freeman added. “It is a massive pain in the [ass] because it’s no longer a craft and a job.” Freeman pointed to Jim Carrey’s method acting during the making of Miloš Forman’s 1999 Andy Kaufman biographical drama “Man on the Moon” as an example of the downsides of the approach. As documented in the non-fiction feature “Jim and Andy,” Carrey took method acting to polarizing extremes on set that affected both the crew and Carrey’s own sense of self....
